Kathmandu Valley Preservation Trust

The restoration of this near-ruined shrine building rescued a rare and exotic building type, the towered Agam of Nepalese architecture. This fine 17th century example of the agam is of outstanding importance being one of a handful which survive and remains in its historical use under the priests of the former Patan kings. The excellent standards of conservation work achieved (including model seismic strengthening) have been reported in the November, 1996 Monitoring Report to the UNESCO World Heritage Center.
